WHAT LEBRON JAMES EATS: https://youtu.be/T9ltXsHE7tU WHAT STEPH CURRY EATS: https://youtu.be/oV-v--SEXwE WHAT DWIGHT HOWARD EATS: https://youtu.be/yjbm__TO5pY Vegan NBA players were all the rage back in 2017. The trend seemed to be sweeping the league with some of the most prominent players taking up either a vegan or plant-based diet. First players like Wilson Chandler jumped in then people became interested in Kyrie Irving diet, Chris Paul diet, Damian Lillard diet, DeAndre Jordan diet, Javale Mcgee diet and more. The fad has died down since then and in this video we look at the rise and fall of the NBA vegan. Wilson Chandler was one of the first active NBA players to announce he was ditching meat. Before him, retired NBA player John Salley was not only vegan but loudly and proudly so. He is an advocate for vegan lifestyle as well as cannabis use. Soon bigger names got on board like Kyrie Irving and more recently Chris Paul. It goes against conventional wisdom that a professional athlete can follow a plant-based diet and still get all the fuel their bodies need but these guys have proven it. Some went back on a meat eating diet after they couldn't manage the protein and iron intake but others navigate the lifestyle successfully. The interest in veganism spiked after a documentary called "What The Health?" came out in 2017 on Netflix. NBA player Jahlil Okhafor claimed the film had a big influence on him. In this video I share my skepticism about that documentary but praise athletes who chose to change their lifestyle.
